In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 155 Twelve Demon Months
On the surface, his resume is impressive, he has no illegal record, he is clean in politics, and he achieved considerable political achievements during the tenure of the previous mayor.

But actually...

Once the things he did behind the scenes, such as corruption, bribery, collusion with gangs, and abuse of power, are exposed, his political career will be ruined.

He has a wife, a pair of children, three mistresses and four illegitimate children. His parents are ranchers on a ranch in Kansas.

There are old people above and young people below, and there are a lot of handles on him, so it's easy to control him.

On the surface, he has a perfect resume, is an honest official, and his governing policies are definitely popular with voters. There won't be much resistance to him becoming mayor.

Very good, it's you.

Qingshui snapped his fingers.

A member of the Assassin's League who served as a bodyguard for the Hogg Group immediately came in from outside.

"Please contact Hamilton Hill for me and tell him that I support him as mayor and am willing to provide campaign funds for his team. Also... have Rattlesnake send some small gifts to his family, including his mistresses and illegitimate children, and find a way to let him know. Do you understand?"

Shimizu threw the Hamilton Hill file to the ninja from the Assassin's League.

"Yes!"

The ninja took the document with both hands and answered with his head down.

……

……

Demon Slayer: World of Demons, Butterfly House.

From within a house, a low humming sound was heard.

"Oh, really, why are these people so troublesome? Mr. Beimingyu used fire to burn his body to temper it, and now Mr. Qingshui has also begun to use this cruel method to strengthen his body."

Shinobu Kocho stood outside the house, stroking her forehead helplessly - even though in fact, she was secretly injecting wisteria flower toxin into her body.

In order to use the Sand Retsu Body Technique to temper his body, Shimizu in the Demon Slayer world used the ancient recipe of the Uesugi clan as an excuse to ask Shinobu Kocho to find medicines with similar effects to those in the Naruto world, and prepare a secret recipe to temper his body.

The effect is acceptable.

After a long time, the sound in the house disappeared, and the worried Shinobu Kocho shouted inside.

"Mr. Shimizu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Shinobu, thank you so much!"

He wrapped himself in a towel while taking out the clean water from the bathtub and shouted outside.

The surface of his skin was slightly red and shiny, steaming with heat, and his strong and full muscles were constantly undulating, looking full of explosive power.

"This body's blank qualities would rank it among the top pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Qingshui pinched his muscles, clenched his fists, and used the newly learned mind-reading technique to feel the power in his body and make judgments.

The Heart-Shooting Technique is a perception ninjutsu that is close to A-level in difficulty, but as a puppeteer, Shimizu's strong point is mental energy, so it didn't take him long to learn it.

Dry yourself, put on your clothes, and open the door.

"Mr. Shimizu, for your health's sake, I suggest that you let me check your pulse."

Kocho Shinobu said with a smile.

"Okay, please."

Qingshui sat on the stone table in the yard and stretched out his arms to Kocho Shinobu. After a while.

"It's fine. My body is even stronger than before. However, there are some scratches on the surface of my body. I just need to apply some medicine when I go back."

Shinobu Kocho loosened her fingers and said to Shimizu.

"Come to think of it, Mr. Shimizu should be able to become a pillar soon."

"I still have a long way to go. I have only killed about thirty ghosts so far. At this rate, I will probably have to wait until next year to become a pillar."

Qingshui shook his head.

"This efficiency is already amazing. When we usually kill ghosts, apart from the dangers of fighting with ghosts, the biggest variable is tracking the ghosts' tracks. Often, the ghosts have already moved to another location just as we receive the mission.

Even Uzui, who was once a ninja, is not as efficient as you, Mr. Shimizu, in tracking ghosts. Do you have any tricks?"

Kocho Shinobu asked curiously.

Qingshui touched his nose.

What a coincidence! I am also a ninja, and the tracking methods I know are definitely more and more effective than traditional ninjas like Uzui Tengen.

"Not really, but I have a keen sense of smell. Even if the ghost has left, as long as he has killed someone nearby, I can follow the smell of blood from the scene of the crime."

Qingshui found a seemingly reasonable explanation.

Whose sense of smell is sharper than a dog’s!
However, Shinobu Kocho had an expression that said, "So that's how it is."

"No wonder. Kyojuro told me before that Tanjiro has a very special sense of smell. Not only is it very sharp, but he can also judge the flaws of the enemy's moves through his sense of smell. I didn't believe it at first, but since Shimizu has a similar ability, it's not surprising."

what?
Qingshui looked normal, but he was confused for a moment.

I almost forgot, Tanjiro's sense of smell is indeed strong enough to almost be in the realm of super powers.

Shinobu Kocho chatted with Shimizu for a few more words until a girl in blue clothes came over to inform them that new wounded had arrived. Shinobu Kocho apologized and hurried away.

Shimizu smiled and sent Shinobu Kocho away, then sat at the table and drank tea.

The Breathing of Separation has been basically completed, and a lot of experience has been accumulated. I can now try to merge the Wind Release Chakra and the Lightning Release Chakra to develop the Breathing of Separation.

Shimizu didn't know what the bloodline developed from these two types of chakras was called in other places, and there was no relevant information in the materials collected by the Sand Village. Anyway, he called it Rikuton. As long as he developed it successfully and made it famous in the ninja world, even if there were other names for it, everyone in the ninja world would still recognize the name Rikuton.

"Perhaps after returning to the village, I can ask the Third Kazekage, the creator of Magnetic Release, if there are any key points or tricks to fusing bloodline limits."

Just as Qingshui was drinking tea and thinking, a crow flew in from the sky.

"Uesugi Kiyomizu, Uesugi Kiyomizu, please leave for Ashikita-cho, Kumamoto City immediately! The Twelve Demon Moons are suspected to be haunting the area!"

Qingshui raised his head suddenly.

The opportunity to become a pillar in one fell swoop has finally come.

Up to now, Shimizu has killed a total of 32 demons and has been promoted to a Class A swordsman. His police rank at the Shiga Police Headquarters has also been promoted to patrol team leader.

The current luck has reached a historical high of 81.73%.

When I accepted the Assassin's League before, the progress was more than 43%, which was nearly doubled at one time.

The majority of this was brought about by the main body's promotion to jonin, and a small part was brought about by the level upgrade of the Demon Slayer world and the joint development with Hogg in the DC world.

If I could become the highest-level pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps, I should be able to gain a lot at once, and then I would be close to opening up a new world.
